Topic: Lady In The Water Book (Read 3861 times)

on Amazon.com there is a hardcover book called "Lady in the Water" written by...................

M. Night Shyamalan.

yeah.

It's 72 pages and has a suggested reading age of 4-8.Maybe its a kid movie after all. Plus it has a release date set for July 1st. The movie is scheduled for release until the 21st. So it my not have a twist ending, or else the book would give it away.

Night has interesting ways of marketing. I have a feeling this could be a different story that connects to the film. Perhaps it is a story involving 'Story' in her world, like it serves as something that lets you know a little before you see the film. Also, it could involve Paul's character Cleeveland becuase all of the tenants realise they are in a story as well....I am really interested to see what kind of book it is and what its about. Rest assure that it wont give away the ending for the film. I dont know for certain of course but....well there it is.

I want to buy this book (will have to go through Amazon, no book stores seem to sell it around here) and I was watching an interview with Night. He said it wasn't the story of the movie, but rather the story Cleveland hears from the Korean lady, basically the bedtime story as Night told it to his kids. I'm even more excited because it has illustrations from my hero and favorite creature designer Crash McCreery.

I just read this book at the book store today and you're right. It's only the story the woman tells in the movie, only much less detailed. It's neat because the book is more suggestive of this happening anywhere, to anyone, where the movie feels more like a one time event, if that makes sense.

I babysat this weekend for a 7 year old and read the book to her and she loved it. However, now she thinks there's someone living under her pool and not quite sure how gonna explain that one to her parents. :wink:

I hope Night decides to write another children's book. That would be pretty awesome.
